Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Time to significant progression after surgery and postoperative survival period. [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Time to significant progression after surgery, including recurrence of local tumor, intrahepatic and extrahepatic metastasis, etc; and to evaluation of postoperative survival period.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. ECOG and QLQ-C30 scores [ Time Frame: Week 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144 ]
    On week 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132 and 144, assess the scores of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG) and quality of life questionnaire(QLQ)-C30 scale.

  2. Iconography assessment [ Time Frame: Week 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144 ]
